	I've followed some of the links and they give some interesting 
points. I'm in the process of trying to compile a letter/documents to 
put forward to the company I work for. The company is large, turnover 
in the £billions and I'm trying to find as much professional, 
publicised info/documentation, to persuade them, that changing from 
microsoft to linux is the way to go. I would think there would be in 
the order of tens of thousands of microsoft licenses to be lost.
